Genie OPAKPE2.S Garage Door Photo Eye Commercial

Product Description

The GENIE OPAKPE2.S is a replacement photo eye safety sensor designed for commercial garage door systems. Photo eyes function as an infrared beam safety device, detecting obstructions in the door's travel path and triggering a stop or reversal to prevent contact with personnel, equipment, or vehicles. This unit mounts near the base of the door opening on both sides, with a transmitter on one side and a receiver on the other. The OPAKPE2.S is finished in black and is installed by qualified door system technicians or commercial service professionals as part of a compliant door safety setup.

This photo eye is intended for use with commercial overhead garage doors. Commercial door applications include warehouses, loading docks, fleet service facilities, and industrial buildings where reliable entrapment protection is required. The sensor pair monitors the full width of the door opening at floor level to detect any obstruction during door travel. Its dimensions of 8.25 inches in length, 4.5 inches in width, and 3.25 inches in height suit standard commercial door frame mounting configurations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement photo eye sensor for commercial garage door systems. Verify compatibility with the existing door operator model and wiring configuration before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified door systems technician or commercial door service professional. Disconnect power to the door operator before removing the existing photo eye or making any wiring connections. Mount the transmitter and receiver directly across from each other at the base of the door opening, aligned so the infrared beam is unobstructed when the door path is clear. Confirm beam alignment and door reversal function before returning the system to service, in accordance with applicable ANSI and UL 325 safety requirements for commercial door operators.
